All of our dog training classes can be done remotely over FaceTime or Zoom video calls. This includes:
What Makes Online Dog Training Different?
The sessions are live and interactive. You engage with your trainer in real time over FaceTime or Zoom, working with your own dog in your own home, and there is no traveling to a physical location for either of you.
Your dog stays in the place they are most comfortable, and the lesson happens in the environment where the habits you want to change actually live.
Private Sessions, Tailored to Your Dog
Each session is one to one and tailored to your dog’s level and your dog’s specific needs. The training builds communication and mutual understanding between you and your dog, and the skills you practice carry into everyday life because you learned them where everyday life happens.
Rachel’s certifications and methods are the same ones behind the in-person lessons: positive reinforcement, customized to your dog.
A Good Fit When In-Home Does Not Work
Online sessions suit owners outside the in-home service area, and owners whose schedule will not fit a home visit. Puppy owners can also start early, building good behavior and obedience from the first weeks, and every session covers skills you can practice before the next one.
Online Dog Training Questions Owners Ask
Are the sessions live?
Yes. Every session is a live video call over FaceTime or Zoom, one to one with Rachel, working with your dog in real time.
Which programs can be delivered online?
All of them: dog obedience training, puppy training, aggressive dog training, and dog separation anxiety training.
What do I need for a session?
A phone, tablet, or computer that runs FaceTime or Zoom, with your dog at home with you. Anything else worth having ready gets covered when you book.
Is online training as personalized as in-home training?
Yes. Sessions are private and tailored to your dog’s level and needs, the same as an in-home lesson, using the same positive reinforcement methods.
I live near Bethesda. Should I choose online or in-home?
Within the service area, in-home lessons are available and many owners prefer them. Online works well when travel or scheduling gets in the way. Talk it through at the free phone consultation.
